[2019-07-29T10:30:07+00:00] (ERROR) Failed, aborting...
[2019-07-29T10:30:07+00:00] (ERROR) Failed to retrieve WLC host id.

Cause

This happens when Windows legacy collector is installed on different locale ( except English ) that has different separator which prevents core engine frameworks from starting windows legacy collector service. To confirm the same, you can perform below two checks:-
 

  1. SSH to Admin server and try to curl IP of windows legacy collector which returns in 404 error.
    [root@vnwservexxx ~]# curl -u admin:netwitness "http://WLCIP:50101/event-broker?msg=identity&force-content-type=text/plain&op=get_lc"
    404 Not Found: Not Found
    [root@vnwserverxxx ~]# 
  2. Login to REST API   through the browser on windows legacy host and you'll see that the nodes /logcollection, /event-broker, /event-processors are missing. Customer needs to make sure that there are no firewall rules in their network that would prevent access to the REST interface.

Resolution

To fix this issue, change the decimal symbol to ( dot .) on the Windows machine where the Windows legacy collector is installed. Below are the steps to perform the following:-
 

  1. Login to the control panel of the Windows machine where the Windows legacy collector is installed.
  2. Click on  "clock and region" and you'll see the format for the specific country. For example:- I've Russian format in this screenshot with a comma (,) as a decimal symbol.

  3. Click on "Additional settings" and change the "Decimal symbol"  to ( dot . ) and apply the changes. 
  4. Now, Install Windows legacy collector executing below command on the Admin server and it should be successful this time without 404 error. 
     
    #wlc-cli-client --host-display-name HOSTNAME --service-display-name SERVICENAME --host <IP IPADDRESSOFWLC --port 50101 --use-ssl false --username <admin credential for WLC> --password <admin credential for WLC> --ss-username <admin credentials for security server> --ss-password <admin credentials for security server>
